Q: 2. Previous Question: “Can I plug into a multbox or other conference room audio systems for clean audio?” How or which cables settings are needed to plug into audio mixer?

A: The Zoom H5 Portable Handy Recorder can be connected to a mult box (press box) using a standard XLR female to XLR male cable. The output signal on most press conference boxes is mic level or it may be switchable between mic and line level. Use the mic level input setting on the H5 and adjust the settings as you would when recording with any microphone. When recording the output from a mixer, the signal is going to be line level. The cables you will need are dependent on the output connections that are available on the mixer. It may be 1/4" TS or TRS, or RCA, but typically will have left and right outputs on the mixer, so you can connect to both XLR inputs on the H5.

A: Allison, i just opened mine a few days ago and have been impressed. If you read the directions it says that the usb that comes with it will power it which surprised me. I havent tried it yet. It also acts as a two or four mic usb interface for recording. So i plan to test that soon.

Q: 9. Can this tripod system (500AH + 755XB) handle a small slider? (Edelkrone slider plus/small - 1.5kg). My camera is a Panasonic GX8 + 12-35mm/f.28 lens (792g)

A: You are good to go since this combination can handle much bigger cameras then the GX8. Since I like tripods and heads to have overcapacity, your camera will be a great match for this tripod. My favorite feature of the 755XB is that the top of the column can be leveled without adjusting the legs. When ever shooting video, make sure to level the head so you are ready to pan and not make your audience think they are on the Titanic.
